San Francisco: Marin Headlands - Mt Tamalpais - Point Reyes

Cataract Falls are located 1.75 miles from the Rock Spring Trailhead in Mt Tamalpais State Park. The trail follows Cataract Creek to a series of falls along its path, and continues on to the redwood-lined shores of Alpine Lake. This popular trail features diverse ecology, numerous cascades, and fishing at Alpine Lake. Winter visitors will see Cataract Creek at its liveliest, while spring-summer visitors will enjoy green trailsides, an array of wildflowers and more stable trail conditions.
